Sadness abounds: Charli XCX isn't really a fan of her last album, 'Sucker'

Charli XCX

Charli XCX isn't really a fan of Charli XCX's last album 'Sucker', sorry about that.

Having a chat with Billboard about how she managed to get Lil Yachty to appear on new single 'After The Afterparty', she said the following words:

"I DMed him — I was like, 'Hey, I really love your stuff. Do you want to be on my song?' He was like, 'Yeah, cool! I really love your last album!' Which is weird, because I’m going through a phase of really hating my previous album at the moment, so I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool that he likes it.’"

(Charlotte that album was great, pull yourself together.)

Asked if she cared about the chart per­form­ance of the afore­men­tioned new single she mused: “Some weeks I really care about it, and other weeks I don’t care at all. But one thing I def­in­itely was thinking about a lot through­out making this record was less about the singles and more about making a really cohesive album."

"Even though 'True Romance' and 'Sucker' are things that I’m proud of, they were all done in quite quick amounts of time, with a lot of people by the end of it and some parts over email."

With this album was it really just you, SOPHIE, Bloodpop and Stargate in a studio together, though?

"With this album, it was really just me, SOPHIE, Bloodpop and Stargate in a studio together, and that was something I def­in­itely wanted to do.”

Great! Apparently the album is out next May.
